Please refrain from navigating to these sites and DO NOT download anything from these sites. It is COM-FSM policy that you do not install software onto any College owned computers, and that computer's connected to the College network meet security requirements.

Should you need additional security software for your computer, please seek the advice of your respective campus' I.T. representative. The COM-FSM network and computers already have security software installed by I.T Service technicians to protect you. Once more, DO NOT download and install any unknown software to your system; be wary, especially if the software is free.

Remember to check that your AVG antivirus is up to date and is functioning correctly. It is equally important that you allow for the daily scans to initialize and complete.

When and if at all in doubt, please contact your local campus I.T. personnel for friendly, professional assistance.
